Favorites in 1Password 8 now showing me everybody's

@ag_mike_d Hey, how are you doing? It's been two years now since the feature was been requested. Has this already been implemented? It's still anoying :( You can also add a +1 to the list.

@ManuelSpar

Thank you for the feedback! I've let the team know that you'd like to see per-user favourites as well. 🙂

LOL is favourites doing as a global favourite? c'mon guys, this isn't normal in any way for larger companies. Finding about this now as we've just migrated over :|

Hello @phillipc,

We appreciate your feedback here about favourites. I'm sorry for any trouble this causes. I have passed your feedback along to the team.

Please let us know if you have any other suggestions or feedback.

I found this post as I just deleted a few 'company' favourites as I didn't understand why they were in 'my' favourites - please, also add me to 'the list'!

EVERYONE has different 'favourites'. It's quite difficult to understand how this 'we all must have the same favourites' was ever seen as a good idea AND made it through the version 8 rewrite, despite it (according to a post further up this thread) having been an issue since 2016.

It really does not make any sense to work like this - and 'is expected behaviour' (as it was described near the top of this thread) isn't a reasonable excuse.
'Works as designed' is more accurate - because, I think, few (no one?) 'expects' this behaviour?

Question - I presume if I add a login from my Employee Vault, then other people can't see it (despite the favourites being for everyone)?

Also, the 'list' - can we see it? Can we see the suggestions list, and add/upvote requests ourselves?
A bit like https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/search#t=All&sort=relevancy ? (free login maybe required to see this page)

Thanks!

No. There is no transparency to what is being worked on in terms of bug reports, feature requests, etc. I gave up trying to get updates/traction on various requests that arose when v8 came out.

Thank you for the feedback. I've let the team know that you'd like to see per-user favourites introduced to 1Password.

There isn't a public list but all feedback is considered by our product team. We don't have a public voting system for feature requests since that could give the wrong impression that features are built only based on what has the most "votes" at a given time. Voting systems are also prone to being gamed. Discussions such as this allow us to better understand the need for specific features.

I'm always happy to check and provide an update, if there is any, on any feature requests or bugs that have been filed with the team. 🙂

@1P_Dave ,

Thanks for the response.
I understand why you don't want a voting system - it has its benefits but, as you say, it has its downsides too.

But, some more visibility on what is being worked on and approximate expected release dates (not too specific - this shouldn't used as a tool to beat you with!) would be really useful.

Thanks.

@AdamC

Thanks for the feedback. There isn't an expected release date that the team and I can share. Changing favourites to be per-user rather than per-item is a request that is in our product team's backlog but there are prerequisites that have to be developed first before the team can consider making the change.

The metadata that stores whether an item is favourited exists in the item itself using the faveIndex value:

• If an item is favourited then "faveIndex": 1.
• If an item isn't favourited then "faveIndex": 0.

Each item is responsible for declaring whether it is a favourite or not, this system was developed in a time when sharing items in 1Password wasn't as common as it is now. Before favourites can be made per-user this faveIndex metadata has to be moved out of the item and into a new user-specific layer in the database. Creating this user-specific layer requires some architecture work and, for the moment, this work is yet to be done.

Personally, I'd love to see user-specific favourites and I'll continue to push for the feature internally. And, if I do come across any updates that I can share then I'll make sure to update this thread. 🙂

+1 on changing to personal favourites
